About Me

To start off, in the "Languages I'm Learning" section, I know a couple of lines in all 3 of them but not learning any extensively at the moment :p. I do plan on starting with German really soon (I know it's the hardest of the 3, SCHEISE!)
I grew up in Mumbai and did my undergrad there. Currently, I'm a grad student at NC State, GO PACK! NC State is in Raleigh, North Carolina; and is a lovely and peaceful city with an entirely different vibe.
I hate staying at home and I'm a very outgoing/adventurous person. Backpacking and Camping in forests and mountains are one of the best sources of joy that my life has yet offered.
Always wanting to learn new stuff. Currently, learning the Piano at NC State and next semester has a lot in store for me when it comes to getting better in playing that wonderful instrument and Music Theory. Also, I play the guitar and have been doing so since the past 7 years. Hahaha I'm entertaining when I sing.

I love to travel and go to new places. Meeting different people and having friends from all over the world has been life-changing and changed my way of thinking. I've been to a few cities in Germany and to a few in the United States too. Very keen on travelling to new places and in grasping every opportunity I get to do so (if I have the money haha)

Oh wait, I can write all of these things in the sections below too. Dang

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been told by a few friends that Couchsurfing is an excellent way to meet local people, see their lifestyles and share stories with them. Everyone has their own culture so it should be awesome to learn about them this way too.

Interests

Sports: (Football fan extensively)
Football: I'm a Gooner.
Enjoy watching Cricket, Basketball, Volleyball, Rugby and many different kinds of sports like Rowing, Ice Hockey, Swimming.

Play football since I was very young and still do. (till death do us part)
